Treatment by prostatic injection of acute urinary retention due to prostatic hyperplasia.

Abstract

Diabetes and Cataract-Mc(uinness MEDBALJOURNAT seemed to show a greater response to glucose challenge than the other female groups. The numbers in the present group are too small for the significance of this observation to be assessed, and further study is required. It is possible that the diabetic with lens opacities may progress to a stage requiring cataract extraction more rapidly than a non-diabetic. This might explain the discrepancy between the lack of correlation in this survey and the reports of increased prevalence of diabetes in patients admitted for cataract extraction. SummaryThe prevalence of diabetes in a sample of 340 persons of the general population of the Rhondda Fach was not found to differ in persons with and without lens opacities.Persons with and without lens opacities show no significant difference in blood-sugar response to glucose challenge. Females with lens opacities show a greater response to glucose challenge than males with lens' opacities.It would appear that diabetes is not such an important cause of lens opacity formation in the general population as was previously thought, but persons with a diabetic tendency may develop lens opacities progressing to a stage requiring cataract extraction more rapidly than non-diabatics. Further studies to investigate this point are in view.

Effects of intraperitoneal injection of phenol, glycerin and acetic acid on neoplastic ascitis in guinea pigs

“…Since then, it has been used by other authors, but always in the prostate. 10,[13][14][15] No other similar studies to ours were found in the literature and neither were references to biochemical dosages in animals noted so as to enable comparison to our findings. We studied the action of this solution in liver of guinea pig and observed that solution produced necrosis limited to the injected area and that hepatic tissue recovery occurred after four weeks with the formation of a small necrosis area 16 .…”

Injectables in the prostate

“…As publications confirming the efficacy of this procedure continued, however, a growing experience in the literature developed regarding patients complaining of postinjection perineal pain, consistent with and documented as extraprostatic extravasation [2,3,5]. Therefore, transperineal injection largely lost favor as a route for injection until transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) was used for guidance, allowing for visualization of injection, reducing the possibility of inadvertent injectable backflow.…”

“…The seminal study by Talwar and Pande triggered substantial investigation of transperineal intraprostatic injection [2,5]. As publications confirming the efficacy of this procedure continued, however, a growing experience in the literature developed regarding patients complaining of postinjection perineal pain, consistent with and documented as extraprostatic extravasation [2,3,5].…”

Effects of phenol, glycerin and acetic acid on the liver of guinea pigs

“…Solution E, containing such components, was empirically used, as previously mentioned, for protatic patients in the early 21 st century in India by Roberts 6 . Since then, it has been used by other authors, but always in the prostate 6,12 . No other similar studies to ours were found in the literature and neither were references to biochemical dosages in animals noted so as to enable comparison to our fi ndings.…”
